My Status

Yeah, so I have noticed something about myself. I am not so good at this...but you know what I would be really great at?? Status updates all day! I spend so much time thinking about something deep and interesting to talk about, feeling intimidated by all the really great bloggers out there, and then thinking of about 10 other things I really should be doing. My life feels so full right now. Homeschooling is quite daunting. I am working out the kinks in my schedule and hope to become more disciplined, therefore post more regularly. Anyway, until then, here are my status updates for the last couple days:

* Going to give blood, don't weigh enough, ate too much, threw up in parking lot at hospital, hospital caught on fire......figured it isn't my day to give blood. Hey, I tried! 

* Feeling like I am in high school....intimidated and insecure.

*My boys are camping and I am having a 'girl's night' with my mom and little sis. 

*Off to a 5 year old birthday party! Hoping for great candy in the pinata (that I will confiscate from my kids, then they will completely forget about)! 

* Just got back from taking the boys to a nice quiet park with some friends....wasn't quiet for very long.

*Drama with a 'Facebook Friend'...no longer friends at all....que serrah. (long story)

*Took Jonas to the doctor for 6 month check-up. Feeling like he should join the circus after all the 'he's SO big' comments. He is a very healthy, 20lb, 27", 90th percentile, happy baby! 

*My 3 year old caught a squirrel. His father (Daniel is always referred to as 'his Father' in situations like this) told him that he if he caught a squirrel with his bare hands,  he would buy him new Legos. 2 weeks later, Evan hadn't forgotten. What was intended to be a energy wasting impossibility for a 3 year old was, to Evan, an attainable goal. As my dad would say, that can preach! 

*Getting out fall clothes! It's here!!!!

*Digging deep spiritually....exhausting and challenging. (more on that later)

*Both knitting and quilting in my spare time. HA! 

*Went on a date night, finally!!! First date in over 6 months! Long overdue, much needed, but I still missed my kids terribly! 

*Went on a walk on the Hampton Cove Greenway with my mom, brother, and sister. Soaking in this beautiful weather! (btw, congrats to whoever it is with the signs on Four Mile Post that read: It's a Girl! And a Boy! And a Boy! And a Boy!)

*Got a taste of what it would be like to be Jon and Kate plus 8 (except I had 6) for a couple hours. 

*Embarking on another journey with Beth Moore...it's going to be great! 

*Teaching my child to read. Patience, Lord! 

*Going for a walk with my boys.

*Watching Gilmore Girls with my guy. 

There is a touch of some of the things that happened in my life over the past 5 days or so. Hopefully the next 5 will be quieter, less dramatic, and go by a little slower. 

These are precious times.
